Anyone else have a spare seat? My jeep is stock for now I don't think I would make it through.
This is a stock friendly trail and we'll miss the deep mud and water, so you're welcome to bring whatever you have. And we're also there to help if you do run into trouble, just consider it an introduction to the safety course 
The trail is quite short and we're usually out within 4 hours. I say usually because when off-roading you never know what will happen and we can't promise when we'll get out.

I should have a spare seat if I make it...if you see me confirm I am going I will confirm the seat.
Cheers
Forgot to mention that I should have a spare seat as well. Carp is a weird one. Each year it changes. Last year it was pretty dry except for the new mud hole which is optional. We now turn around at the burnt out Grand Cherokee after the new mud hole since it is only 30 seconds after that where you see houses. Also it would have been a non-eventful route that would have totaled maybe 3 hours if Kunker hadn't bent his tie rod.
Hasn't been mentioned yet but no alcohol or drugs allowed.

Hi All
I'm in on the 7th. I've got a stock Rubicon and a winch. So I'll have to bypass the deep water.
I should let you know I'm new only made it out once last year, so are non club members able to tag along. I'd like to join just confused about how I guess.
So let me know if this run is open to newcomers, don't want to spoil it for others is all.
Take care hope to see you Sunday

All events are open to non-members however you will see if something requires more than stock.
The way to get a member is attend 2 meetings and 2 events and then you get voted in (unless you drive a Subaru Forester but I digress).
The "deep water" usually is maybe 20 inches. It's unusual if it gets any deeper than that. Carp is usually a pretty forgiving run. Key thing is try to watch where the previous person went and do what they did (unless they did badly, tipped and burned up then don't do that).

Last fall Pierre.Monaco ran his stock rubicon in some pretty deep water and he came out fine, he even towed a 4runner out of a deep spot that he and and I had gone through before the toyota..so you should be fine!

:lmao::lmao::lmao:
I think I'm in, I live just behind the fairgrounds so I really don't have an excuse. Haha.
I don't even know if it would have been 3 hours without the tie-rod...took less than an hour to get back out in 1wd backwards :lmao:
I'll take you up on the free seat too if you don't mind...I'll PM you my new cell number if anything comes up.

You say stock jeeps and such would be fine, what about a FULL SIZE truck, 4" lift and 33s? I'm sure the lift/tires is good but I'm concerned about the full-size part. Will I be rubbing trees or anything? Is the trail tight or is it an old road or what? Thanks. Might come
